3143.0. "remote SMTP gateway" by MAIL1::KMAHER (Un clavo saca otro clavo) Thu Feb 27 1997 20:07

    Remote MAILBUS400  SMTP gateway.
    
    I have a customer running Mailbus400 on open vms.  They want to add the
    smtp gateway, obviously to a different machine, since it won't work
    with VMS.  Are there any gotcha's associated with having the smtp
    gateway on a node separate from the Mailbus 400, X.500 products.
    
    What UNIX versions will it work with? 
    
    Are there plans to support the smtp gateway for VMS?
    
    And finaly what is the role of Infobroker in this environment.  I'm
    relatively new to this product suite.

No, no gotchas. You need the Base component of the UNIX MTA as well as the 
Gateway.

    What UNIX versions will it work with? 

I don't know if it works on V4, but it certainly runs on earlier versions. See 
the SPD. We have it here on V3.2G and DECnet V3.2B.
    
    Are there plans to support the smtp gateway for VMS?

There never have been up to now . . .
    
    And finaly what is the role of Infobroker in this environment.  I'm
    relatively new to this product suite.

Infobroker allows an LDAP Client to communicate with X.500. It's not used by 
the MTA, only runs on UNIX (it's used by Mailworks for UNIX for example) - I 
suspect you don't have a need for it. The VMS UAs (ALL-IN-1, Mailworks) don't 
use it.
